If it's not already getting the most of the whatever you're using on it, you should get your money back. I mean the machine is very powerful, so really the only tweaking you can probably do is overclocking and I wouldn't bother.

nope, but it was just as bad... power supply Very Happy and im not kidding, not only was it expensive, but it was the ONLY part i bought from overseas Very Happy


needless to say it gave me a shit-scare, i wasnt sure if it could have taken the mobo, or, *gasp*, the cpu with it...

but they not only paid to have it returned too them, they also cross-shipped me a new one... good company.

Can you remember me the name of your case chiv?
Otherwise it was not really a good idea to buy your power supply from overseas, better buy locally for something that you are sure was made for the local electrical norms.

Hope you will fix your trouble. Smile

oh i allready fixed it a while back, my pc is running smooth as a newly shaved and greased up midget... yeah i should have bought locally, but i couldnt find what i wanted in my country, and as it turned out the company that i bought it from was very professional, and sorted it out for me nice and quick.

either way, the whole thing was one big learning experience for me anyway, and i really enjoyed it, and did learn a hell of a lot...

im definately never going back to prebuilts, thats for sure.

my case is a coolermaster stacker 832, and its fricken sweet. im glad i went with this case, its just frickin beautiful to look at. ill have to take a pic of it tomorrow.
